Is that your best reason for upgrading?

Something that worries me (ex-developer) is that in a bespoke system like this, if the wrong person gets hit by a bus, we're all pretty screwed - but it doesn't worry me enough to do anything about it.

i'd like to have a reply to thread option so that you can see the whole thread below your reply box, instead of only replying to a single post.
being able to upload pics straight from desktop, instead of having to load to server and link.
a different lay out and navigation.
sub forums

i do agree that most functions work well, but just thought it could be better.
for me it's all the small things that add up.
but as people have said, it sounds like a lot of work for perhaps less benefit to effort ratio.

To be honest, occasionally I would like the ability to search a particular user's posts. I remember digging through all of simey's posts looking for the watchtower crack piton thing to discover it was in fact his first post to this forum... That took a little longer than it needed to.

This was my main point - it's difficult to find something general, just loads of single line posts etc.

Ahh, the search link. Of course. I should remember to check the obvious things before I post. I think I'd previously tried the search on the forum page, discovered it wasn't too helpful and went straight to google. Perhaps it could be added as an option to the forum search box as well?
